Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Au". 29, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN T. Asn, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Shirley, in the county of Tyler and Stilt-e of West V irginin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Valves; and I dohereby declare the following to be it full, clear, and exact description. of the invention, such as will. enable others skilled in the art to which it appertnins to jnnke and use the same.

This invention relntesto valves, and the primary object of the-invention is to pr0- vide a. valve construction, by means of which the water inlet into a pipe may be positioned interiorly of a tank, for preventing freezing of the inlet during cold weather.

Another object of this invention is to provide a valve including a rotatable valve stem having suitable valve mechanism carried upon one end; thereof, which controls the inletof liquid into a pipe, which extends into the liquid retaining receptacle, a considerable distance beyond'the inner surface of the walls of the receptacle.

With the foregoing" and other objects in view this invention consists in such novel features .of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as Will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved valve, showing the some applied to a fragment of a. liquid retaining receptacle, and Fig. 2 the. improved valve.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates a T-pipe joint, which has one end detechebly connected to a. liquid reteining receptacle 2. A pipe 3 is connected to the central opening in the T-joint 1, and e slen re 42 to the other end of the T-joint, and in alinement with the end which is connected to the receptacle 2. The sleeve l has an enlarged head 5 formed thereupon, which is detuchubly inserted in the end 6 of the T- joint 1 and extends outwardly therefrom. T he sleeve 4 has a valve stem 7 rotetuhly mounted therein, which valve stem is pro vided with i plurality of external screw is a horizontal section through threadsv 8 formed on a section of its length, which mesh with internal screw threads 9 formed on a. section of the length of the bore of the sleeve 4, for permitting of the longitudinal seating of the valve stem 'I'to the sleeve i upon rotation of the former.

The ordinary type of stulling box 10 is mounted in the outer endof the sleeve 4, and the valve stem i has a hand wheel 11 or any other suitable mechanism for rotating the same, mounted upon its outer end.

The end 12 of the T-joint 1, which is con nected to the casing or liquid retaining receptacle 3, has n. length 13 of pipe secured thereto which extends inwardly into the interior of the receptacle 2. The length 13 of pipe extends into the receptacle 2 sullicient distance to position the open end of the no for enough inwardly from the inner walls of the receptacle 2, for preventins; any possibility of the freezing up of the end of the pipe except when the entire contentof the receptacle is frozen.

'lhevnlve stem 7 has a collin- 14 detachably mounted upon its outer end,to which collar is connected it valve cone 15. The valve (zone- 15 is mounted upon the end of the valve s em 7 and. it has a sleeve 15' pr0 its enlarged end, which sleeve the collar 14, and is provided l screw threads formed upon its outer su The valve cone 15 tapers inwardly from, the sleeve 15 and it has its face or outer end of practically the same diameter as the bore of the length 13 of pipe. A nut 16 is detachahly mounted upon the sleeve 15' The inner of the nut 16 engages a metallic Washer 17, which washer in turn 1 it has its outer end closed.

engagement with the end ot 'the pipe 13,

and also more the cone l5 outwardly, which will regulate the. amount of liquid which flows into the pipe 13 and through the'same, flowing through the T-joint 1 and the pipe I). llv moving the cone l5 outwardly within the pipe 33. the's 'mce bet; (van the outer surface of the cone und the inner wall or surfa e. of t-ll'. pipe 13 will increased, by

means of which the quantity of liquid stem 7 in a reverse direction, the cone will be moved into the pipe-l3 and the disk '18 brought intoengagement with the end of the pipe which will cut off the flow of liquid therein. By positioning the inlet end of the pipe-13 inwardly from the walls or sidsjof the. receptacle '2, the liability of the mouth of the pipe 13 and the valve co'ne carried thereby freezing is materially decreased. 7

In reducing the invention to practice, certain minor features of'construction, combination, and arrangement of parts may necessitate alteration, to which the patentee is entitled, provided such alterations are comprehended within the scope of What is claimed.

What is claimed is A valve comprising a T-joint having one end adapted to be connected to a receptacle;

aelosure detachably connected to one end of the T-joint; a valve stem rotatably earried by said closure to extend through 'said T-joint; a length of pipe screw threadedly connected to said T-joint to extend into said liquid retaining receptacle; a collar removably secured to theinner end of said stern; a valve cone provided at its enlarged end with a sleeve fitted over said collar; the sleeve being exteriorly screw threaded; said valve cone tapering inwardly from the sleeve, and. a washer fitted over said sleeve and one face engaging the face of the Ivalve cone; a diskfitted over said sleeve, and .engaging said washer; a nut screw-threadedly fitted on said sleeve forholding said'disk and washer into engagement with the base of the valve cone; the lower end of the sleeve forming a liquid tight joint at its point of engagement with the cone valve washer.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature iii-presence of twowvitnesses.
